from patient
to expert

My journey through digestive hell led me to discover what truly works—and what doesn't—in gut health recovery.

Years of debilitating digestive issues. Chronic pain, bloating, and food sensitivities controlled my life.

Traditional healthcare failed me—months of waiting for appointments, only to be dismissed or given generic advice that made things worse.

the awakening

I realized I had to become my own advocate. I dove deep into research, studying digestive health from every angle.

Through trial, error, and relentless study, I discovered the root causes and real solutions that doctors never mentioned.

why common solutions fail

Through my research and personal experience, I discovered that popular gut health "solutions" can actually make many people worse. Here's why:

"Bone broth is a healing food"

Reality: Can trigger histamine reactions in sensitive individuals

"Collagen powder repairs the gut lining"

Reality: Many collagen supplements are high in lead and lead damages the gut

"Kimchi is a superfood"

Reality: High histamine content can cause inflammation

"Elimination diets tell you what foods you're sensitive to"

Reality: Eliminating foods can actually make you more sensitive to foods by reducing microbiome diversity and causing malnutrition

"Fiber's good for your gut"

Reality: Fiber can fuel pathogenic bacteria in people with chronic bloating and can cause constipation

My approach is different: I help you understand root causes behind your gut health symptoms — like how bloating can stem from low stomach acid or specific gut bacteria — and help you address them with education on nutrition and targeted antimicrobials.
